THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 15, 1920
* Kapp Putsch - Berlin, Germany
* Wolfgang Kapp & Walther von Luttwitz
* Attempted Weimar Republic Coup d'état
The front page has a nice banner headline: "GENERAL STRIKE SPREADS IN GERMANY; EBERT'S CABINET RALLIES SUPPORTERS; ARMED CLASHES IN MANY DISTRICTS" with many subheads. (see images) Lengthy text continues inside.
Complete with all 32 pages, light toning, a little irregular along the spine, generally nice.
AI notes: The Kapp Putsch was a failed right-wing coup in March 1920 aimed at overthrowing Germany’s Weimar Republic. Led by Wolfgang Kapp and backed by the Freikorps, the conspirators briefly took control of Berlin. However, a massive general strike by workers crippled the putsch, leading to its collapse after just four days. The event exposed the fragility of the new democracy and the threat from nationalist and military forces.
